We don’t take the “professional” part of the direct support professional title lightly. Our frontline employees are compassionate, highly skilled care providers who ensure that every interaction affords dignity and respect to those they support. It’s a job that deserves a wage beyond minimum.  

Most full-time residential and free-standing respite positions start at $20.50/hr. That goes up to $22.25/hr. for certain direct support residential shifts. Relief positions begin at $19/hr.  

In addition, we pay overtime for not just more than 40 hours worked in a week or for more than 10 hours worked in a day. This provides time-and-a-half each time someone agrees to commit to a double shift, as an added thank-you. We also pay overtime even in weeks when you’ve used holiday or vacation time; we still count that as time worked!

We give you the chance to work a variety of days and hours—and you’ll be able to count on steady shifts for steady income.
